SUMMARY

Technical Artist / VFX specializing in procedural workflows, shader development, and tool automation.

I bridge art and technology — from graphic design roots through 3D and motion design to technical art. I've shipped real-time projects for Blumhouse (VR), NASA, Microsoft, and Netflix across Unity, Unreal, and multiple platforms.

I build tools that make production faster: Houdini procedural systems, Unity C# extensions, Python automation, and custom HLSL shaders.

PROJECTS

Developed an interactive digital factory showcasing the rubber duck production cycle, featuring two animated scenes and a mini-game. As a UI/UX designer and technical artist, I implemented wacky visuals, virtual factory displays, and shaders for a fun, engaging experience.

TECHNICAL ART: Compute Shaders in Unity.

edit v.1.1 Introduction Compute Shaders are specialized tools that enable massively parallel computations on the GPU , bypassing the traditional rendering pipeline. They’re ideal for tasks like real-time texture generation, physics simulations, and complex data processing. By leveraging the GPU’s architecture, compute shaders can accelerate tasks that would bottleneck a CPU, making them indispensable for performance-critical applications in Unity. Why Use Compute Shaders? Im

PROCEDURAL ENVIRONMENT AND ASSET OPTIMIZATION for Games Using Houdini (Chapter 1)

Introduction In this article, I will walk through the process of creating a procedural environment and optimizing assets for game development using Houdini. The focus will be on modeling, texturing, and preparing assets efficiently while maintaining optimal performance for a game engine such as Unity. Project Scope The goal of this project is to model and texture the provided assets: a modular building, and a terrain with a road. Each asset has specific low texel density, pol
